LG front load washing machine vibrates during spin cycle. I've level the machine numerous times, installed additional rubber pads under legs, lowered adjustment legs while leveling to the lowest position.

Still vibrates, any suggestions?

If its on a pedistal then that will raise your center of gravity and cause the unit to be less sturdy during a spin. It could also be due to a weak floor. You may want to try a product called "shake away pads". The probably sell them at like home depot or lowes. They will run you about 40 bucks but they just go under the legs and help absorb some shock. Good luck _MJ_

I have a Maytag 3000 washer and I have adjusted the feet numerous times to keep it from walking. Do you have any suggestions? The floor is good but likes to walk during spin cycle.

did you level the unit first as per owners manual, then after its level did you turn the "jamb huts" on the legs with a 9/16" open ended wrench above the feet up against the cabinet bottom?,if you dont do this step the vibration in spin will turn the legs again and un-level the unit

LG WM0532HM is level but make my house vibrate Can anyone help?

Put 5 or 6 bath towels on a quick wash cycle.
During the spin cycle adjust the feet on the washer to smooth out the vibrations. Some times you only have to adjust one foot on the front to make a big difference.
If you have a pedastal snug up the washer feet to the pedastal then proceed above.

The washer came with a flat silver wrench to adjust the feet.

Washing machine has a seizure during the spin cycle.

Try leveling the washer so that it is about half a bubble biased towards the rear. This usually helps front loading washers balance properly even if the installation instructions say that it should be perfectly level. This can also aid draining problems.
Also, some newer front loading washing machines are simply prone to dramatic vibration even when they is "anti-vibration" or "vibration reduction" systems. You can never go wrong installing an anti-vibration pad under the washer. Good Vibrations Inc, Kellett Enterprises and The Vibration Solution all have good products. The Vibration Solution seems to have figured out the best solution and offers excellent support and return policies.
Washer anti-vibration pads
If all else fails call the retailer and ask for an exchange.

Vibration during spin cycle

Unless your front loader is set firmly on concrete and leveled to perfection, the force of a heavy wash load spinning in excess of 1000rpm will create a bit of vibration and noise.A firm footing is your best defense against to much movement.
Also due to the earlier movements during the spin cycle, the shocks that are used to dampen the spin cycle might have been broken or damaged.
If the problem persists inspite of proper levelling, please do check for the shocks or might have them replaced them for good.

LG1812CW Walks During Spin Cycle

The rear 2 legs are fixed. The front 2 are adjustable. There are lock nuts to prevent the adjustment from coming loose. The front legs are to be adjusted to the minimum. While not running if the machine rocks, continue the adjustment. For few clothes there is a half load switch; best the read the manual well before anything. Well if the walking continues, check the rear for any shocks or springs that may hv fallen off during transport. Plug off the wall socket first.
